As far as I know, there is only one person that reads this blog besides me. So this post is for him.
I’m not sure why you’re reading this - whether you’re just bored and wondering if I’d written anything else or if you’re missing home (or me), or if you’ve had a bad day. Whatever the reason, know that I’m proud of you and love you more than you’ll ever know.
Since I preached last week about the Ten Commandments I thought it would be fun to give you my top 10 tips…(in no particular order):
1) If someone offers you a breath mint or gum, always say yes.
2) Be the guy everyone wants on the team. Generally that means skate hard and pass the puck.
3) When others around you are in a pissing contest, the only way to win is not to piss at all.
4) it’s never too late to fold a losing hand.
5) confidence is attractive to others. True confidence has nothing to do with being the best at something but it comes from being comfortable in your own skin.
6) character is who you are. Reputation is who others say you are. Both are important but most people spend 10x more energy worrying about reputation. It should be the other way around. If you spend 10x more energy on character, your reputation will follow.
7) you’re always going to disappoint someone. Choose carefully.
8) don’t worry about what you can’t change.
9) choose optimism. It’s your greatest indicator of success.
10) Always start with the end in mind and work backwards.
